Revive Communist Economy in Eurasia!

    Since the 1970s, most Communist economies, incl. DPRK, suffered from stagnation, declining (1980s), then finally, collapsed in 1990s. North Korea and Belarus, could be said as the last 2 countries which still implements Communistic economies, but sadly, their economies are dying. China, as the world's largest socialist state, even has left it since Deng Xiaoping's era in 1978. Today, a lot of people pouted the Left as "no action talk only" (NATO), due to the very glowing contrasts between the theories & the practices like we've seen so clearly in Communist countries.

    Although Communism is no longer popular in Europe & Asia, it's not too late to save the Communistic economies, but, of course, to re-introduce & re-implement the Communist economic system, we must reform the economic system itself.

    The main thing to consider is, the NEW Communist economic system MUST emphasize towards the labours, & of course, the equality of outcome (& opportunity, also), economic equality, justuce & equity, & social justice as the doctrine of Communism. But besides, to assist the economic equality, justice & equity, then economic growth, power, & wealth must be also seriously considered.

    I'd say that the wisest choice to reform the Communist economic system, is the mixed economy which consists of planned system & the autogestion (worker's self management) system. These are the supporting reasons why did I supported the autogestion-planned hybrid :

    1. Autogestion has been proven for initiate & emphasizing entrepreneurship spirit & values towards the labours as the prime mover of the economy, so it raises the productivity & efficiency level which'll trigger a healthy, sustainable, & solid economic & wealth growth & development while also emphasizes & promotes economic equality, justice & equity & social justice. ex. Yugoslavia, Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, & other left-leaned Latin American states has proven this economic system, which has suppressed the unemployment, social gaps & poverty rate yet maintaining a sustainable, healthy economy (although Yugoslavia was knocked down by IMF-World Bank).

    2. Economic development plans has also been proven for maintaining economic orders to maintain a sustainable economic growth, & also, to maintain the resources controls. Soviet Union under Stalin had proved the success of Soviet economy's transformation from a traditional, agricultural to the modern, industrial economic system, although this achievements must be paid expensively by the genocide of millions of the people.

    Of course, to make sure the success autogestion-planned economic system, despotism, totalitarianism, corruption, collusion, & nepotism is a BIG NO! the economic system itself must focused on the civilian/consumer needs first, instead of the military needs. Consumer & capital goods & agricultural production is a HUGE MUST & NO. 1, while R&D also must become a HUGE MUST, to, to assist the economic productivity, efficiency, equality, & equity.

    Education remains an important factor to create qualified human resources. Free & low cost, yet efficient & reliable education system MUST be seriously implemented & developed. Free, low cost, & reliable & efficient vocational & academical education, training & courses MUST be seriously implemented & developed, to assist the economic growth, equality & equity by the supply of highly-qualified labours.

    Within this way, I believe that Communism could revive its good image towards all over the World, as the true sponsor of Liberty, Equality, & Fraternity. Long Live Libertarian Communism!

    None of these countries were remotely "communist".
